    Great hosts and a nice kitchen area. The hostel was also nice and clean. Location wise the hostel is really central in takayama, while also close to the station with the bus center, making it a great place to use as a base for exploring both the town and the surrounding area. We would recommend a visit to hida folk village, and the takayama markets.
